MARGAO: The Chief Officer of MMC has claimed that the protesting workers have been misguided by some and has clarified that the process to rectify the error of deducting Provident Fund from the Municipality’s end has been completed.

Chief Officer Siddhivinayak Naik said that the issue of provident fund deduction has been going on for years and has advised the workers protesting to not get carried away. “Come to my office and get all your doubts cleared,” Naik urged.

He said that he has bifurcated the entire provident fund issue into two parts, one of the retired workers and the other of the present daily wage workers.

“The issue of repayment of retired workers has been explained and sorted out threadbare. The process is now stopped at the end of Employee Provident Fund Office and only they can solve the 7 to 8 issues,” he said.

As far as the PF of the current daily wage workers is concerned they have been told that they would be given all the money with interest. “Now, after 15 days the workers can’t give us deadlines as this has been going on for years. Rectification is on and our stand is same. Do not get carried away,” the chief officer said.
